[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 5190487, member: 834"] [COLOR="Sienna"]-''Okay, not rum. No rum. Calm down. What do you want? Hum... ale, right?''[/COLOR] Hadrak asks lamely. [sblock=Skill] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2531044/]Heal DC 19 (1d20+15=20)[/url] I am not sure why I made a heal check; I obviously meant insight. I think I went to my skill sheet expecting Insight to be my highest skill, I spoted the +15from heal and then had a brain fart. Of course, I have a higher heal because of the Phylactery of divinity. My Insight is +13. Which means that this roll is actually an 18. Which means I screwed the skill check with a natural 5 when I needed a 6. PS: After some math, I realized that if you are only allowed 2 failures, Then you must roll only when you have at least 85% odds of success on the roll. Even if you only roll with 75% odds of success on every check (such as this insight check), you still have about 56% odds of failing the Skill Challenge (based on my rusty maths)... If you hold on for 85% odds of success on each check, then you have a respectable 80% of succeeding the challenge. Bottom line, I really screwed us with that Diplomacy check. Attempting something with a measly 60% odds of success! What was I thinking? ;) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
